Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant takes place from July 10-12 in Walnut Grove, MN. Performed the second, third and fourth weekends in July, the pageant attempts to catch the spirit of pioneer life as told in On The Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The live production tells the story of the Charles Ingalls family at Walnut Grove in the 1870's. Visit the website here for more information!-The Teacher's Calendar, 2008-2009

To help celebrate the Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant, you can check out the entire Little House Series, found here, or you can check out the following mini-editions (just a few of many), which are perfect for early readers!

My First Little House books stemmed from the hugely successful Little House series. The books present events from the original stories that have been condensed and simplified for young readers. I think these are wonderful books... and children do too, from the times I've seen then reading them in school and have held discussion about the books with kids. If your children are interested in life in the old days, not only will this series likely inspire a life-long interest in the entire Little House series, hopefully it will inspire them to become life-long readers. There's much to be learned from these books and they should be equally appealing to both girls and boys!

Summer is here! The warm days of summer have arrived, and that means Laura gets to spend fun-filled days outdoors! The winter is finally over, and now it is summertime! Laura and Mary are busy all day helping Ma in the garden and playing outside.

It’s an exciting day for Almanzo as the Wilder family visits the county fair in this second My First Little House Book adapted from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s classic Farmer Boy. There are contests, races, and good things to eat, and Almanzo can’t wait to see what the judges think of his special pumpkin.
